Holidays are important.
We need time to reset. A change of our environment. Adventures.
I’ll be making a reel about this next week and share some of the thoughts from the women I’ve interviewed for my book.

Alcohol is one of the most toxic things we ingest. But it’s so normalised from drinking every day to the weekend binge drinkers.
In December I’m interviewing Prof David Nutt on my podcast to tell us all the facts about alcohol.

Following up from my post yesterday - for sure not all post menopausal women feel fantastic.
But we can improve how we feel if we look after our pillars of health and happiness. It’s never too late for self care and self love.

What’s it like being a post menopausal woman? Many would say it’s the best time of their lives.
But some people think we should delay or prevent menopause.
What do you think? I know some won’t agree.

Last night I was marking my student essays about AMH testing and was shocked to see a student reference a paper by me - throughout their essay - from 2017 with a title and authorship which never happened. The first image.
